01KITCHEN REMODELING
Apartment kitchens in Dubai are often narrow galleys or closed rooms off the living area. Renovating one means working with fixed service risers and building rules — and making every centimetre count.

These points fix where the sink and cooker can go. A layout that keeps them close to the risers avoids long horizontal waste runs, which need fall and quickly run out of floor depth in an apartment.
Full-height wall cabinets to the ceiling, corner carousels or pull-outs, an integrated fridge and a slim dishwasher recover surprising amounts of storage. Handleless doors and light finishes make a galley feel wider. Where the building allows, opening the kitchen to the living area turns a cramped corridor into a usable room.
Building management will want to approve the works and the contractor, and will set hours for noisy work and deliveries. Removing kitchen walls, changing the extract connection or adding gas points almost always needs specific consent. Agreeing the scope with the building before ordering cabinets avoids having to change the design afterwards.
